What our students say:
"Getting to study at college rather than university has allowed me to have more one-on-one access to the tutors, which has been great for my first year."
Mark Hunter, Foundation Degree in Creative Industries
"I feel more comfortable at college than I would at university - some of the universities I visited were old fashioned and looked like hospitals. I like the people and the atmosphere much better at college, plus I save a lot of money because I don't have to travel into London - Redbridge College is much closer to me."
Lavinia Scott, Foundation Degree in Creative Industries
